Cancer-induced bone pain is a severe and complex pain caused by metastases to bone in cancer patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the analgesic effect of scutellarin on cancer-induced bone pain in rat models by intrathecal injection of Walker 256 carcinoma cells. Mechanical allodynia was determined by paw withdrawal threshold in response to mechanical stimulus, and thermal hyperalgesia was indicated by paw withdrawal latency in response to noxious thermal stimulus. The paw withdrawal threshold and paw withdrawal latencies were significantly decreased after inoculation of tumor cells, whereas administration of scutellarin significantly attenuated tumor cell inoculation-induced mechanical and heat hyperalgesia. Tumor cell inoculation-induced tumor growth was also significantly abrogated by scutellarin. Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II is a multifunctional kinase with up-regulated activity in bone pain models. The activation of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II triggers phosphorylation of cAMP-response element binding protein. Scutellarin significantly reduced the expression of phosphorylated-Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and phosphorylated-cAMP-response element binding protein in cancer-induced bone pain rats. Collectively, our study demonstrated that scutellarin attenuated tumor cell inoculation-induced bone pain by down-regulating the expression of phosphorylated-Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and phosphorylated-cAMP-response element binding protein. The suppressive effect of scutellarin on phosphorylated-Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II/phosphorylated-cAMP-response element binding protein activation may serve as a novel therapeutic strategy for CIBP management.
